Onkyo’s new Rubato is its smallest Digital Audio Player to date

Onkyo’s latest digital audio player – the Rubato DP-S1 measures just 63 x 94 x 15 mm and weighs only 130g, making it a lot smaller than their flagship DP-X1 (weighs 203g and measures 129.0 × 75.9 × 12.7 mm). Smaller doesn’t mean any less powerful though, as the Rubato boasts Dual ESS SABRE Digital to Analogue converters (ES9018C2M) as well as 16GB of internal memory.

Like the DP-X1, the Rubato also has twin microSD card slots, allowing you to expand the total memory to 416GB, which should be more than enough for an extensive portable music library. Also, the DP-S1 features a 2.5mm balanced headphone jack as well as the usual 3.5mm one, thus supporting a wider range of headphones.

The DP-S1 also comes with dual-band Wi-Fi (5GHz/2.4GHz) capabilities, so you can stream music from the likes of Tidal and TuneIn to your heart’s content. Other streaming services will be added in time to come, and the Rubato also uses these Wi-Fi capabilities to provide wireless casting of music, so you can get your favorite audio in the car, or on your hi-fi system. Get the DapController App, and you can even control the DP-S1 from your phone, so you can leave it your bag and stream on the go.

The Onkyo Rubato DP-S1 is available now for S$699.
